2 min readNov 14, 2020
I read relationship counselor John Gray’s book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus recently, and I really loved it. Below are a few of my favorite excerpts; I hope they move you as much as they moved me.
- “When negative feelings are suppressed positive feelings become suppressed as well, and love dies.”
- “When a woman’s wave rises she feels she has an abundance of love to give, but when it falls she feels her inner emptiness and needs to be filled up with love.”
- “Books can inspire you to love yourself more, but by listening to, writing out, or verbally expressing your feelings you are actually doing it.”
- “Remember, if a man needs to pull away like a rubber band, when he returns he will be back with a lot more love. Then he can listen. This is the best time to initiate conversation.”
- “Get the love you deserve and gave your partner the love and support he deserves”
- “If we are to feel the positive feelings of love, happiness, trust, and gratitude, we periodically also have to feel anger, sadness, fear, and sorrow.”
- “When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom ”
- “If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.”
- “Love brings up our unresolved feelings. One day we are feeling loved, and the next day we are suddenly afraid to trust love.”
